A Paradox of Love

Now that I've done four straight weeks of characters from my anime idea (people must secretly hate me for it sometimes, but they're fun ideas and fun shouldn't be a crime) and a serious post. I feel that it's been quite some time for a topic that some readers enjoy (all two of you =P). I recently saw an ad on Facebook (the internet at its finest), if you can guess it was about "the things men do wrong when it comes to women" or some sort of shorter title like that. Now as some of you know or at least two of you, these creatures called women intrigue me so much that I wrote a research paper this past semester about feminism and Valentines Day. So to further advance my understanding of the feminine mystique (a good book too, trust me I've read it) from a male perspective I clicked on said ad.

First topic that was addressed: women don't go for nice guys. Yes tis true, it's like the Legion of Doom zapped all of earth's population with some backwards ray constructed by Bizarro. Now if you've actually went back and read some of my beginning posts, I mean the ones where I was a senior in high school it all goes back to what the "walking cliche" (read it I love what I wrote about that girl) was talking about. It would appear that women don't go for nice guys like me. Now there's fairly good reasoning behind this all. Apparently women don't go for nice guys because they can't see themselves forming a lasting relationship with him. So it's kind of like they'll always remain at the "really good friend" level so why bother damaging such a perfect relationship.

So it's ranting time again, *I'm going to say some pretty intense things (I'm not going to swear I promise) and I'm not mad so skip down if you don't want to hear some mindless ramblings. So basically what I've just read (I didn't read the entire article after that) is that being nice is a bad thing when it comes to a relationship. So all the things that Hollywood and anime have been spoon feeding us in terms of that the meek will always attract women in a unique way is wrong. So that famous line in Hitch that there is always a hidden potiential for any two people to get together is a bunch of crap and Will Smith is full of crap too since this line combined with this so called logic would utterly destroy the world of relationships as we know it. Also I don't think that any woman would go out with a arrogant jerk just because he seems like he would hurt himself if not for the sensitive foil known as his girl friend being there for him. Also if women want an aggressive man then they should all go and date or marry rapists because rape is a stressing of dominance and all the feminists groups would have to perform a male genocide to utterly destroy men.

*End rant. Now don't get me wrong I'm sure women have a perfectly good mindset when it comes to relationships and who am I to judge. I'll admit you can be a nice guy yet do nothing when it comes to relationships. It's kind of like getting up the courage to confess, a nice guy like me it's terrifying and probably would destroy us to get rejected. who'd want a guy like that? I guess it's being able to take up the lead in the relationship for the guy and for him to be agressive in where he wants it to go and such. I just want to say that there has to be a place for kindness in a relationship or even in those potiential ones since they're not about power but about love. In terms of myself, I'm really polite and kind to girls despite the fact that I still think Chivalry is kind of overrated (fun fact: my anime idea Asus Rapt: Assassin of Royalty stemmed from this) and sometimes I get really shy around them (like I mentioned before that's the cute thing about me so don't tease me about it ;;^^). Overall, I respect women and care for my friends of the opposite sex. I'm not sure what they think of this or about what they think about this post in general, but I hope that they feel blessed whenever they see the kindness I show towards them.

I've been told a lot that I've got a strong line, good bait and that I should start casting before my lake becomes a ocean or sea. But the question I guess I'm beating around is if my bait is good enough? Who knows maybe it is or maybe it's not. Maybe one day I'll finally get that catch and make that girl happy.
